The story

What Is Tales of Beatrix Potter About?

The premise of Tales of Beatrix Potter without spoilers.

The Royal Ballet Company brings Squirrel Nutkin, Tom Thumb, Hunca Munca, Jemima Puddle‑Duck, Jeremy Fisher, Pigling Bland and Pigwig to the screen, performing pirouettes and pas de deux in a filmed ballet directed by Reginald Mills. Choreography is by Frederick Ashmore, music by John Lanchbery and costumes by Rostislav Douboujinsky. The literal adaptation follows a shy Beatrix Potter whose toy animals awaken, prompting her to emerge from her shell. Highlights include a chaotic dance where Tom Thumb and Hunca Munca smash plaster food, a midnight pas de deux between Pigling Bland and Pigwig, and a corps de ballet of dancing mice.
